Remember the free Papa John's pizza offer from the Super Bowl? The one with the coin flip and the silly video and the unexplainable appearances by Peyton Manning and Jerome Bettis? Yep, that's the one.

There was a bit of confusion around it, some people didn't get their emails, yada yada. So here's the deal. If you signed up or were already a Papa John's Rewards member before the Super Bowl this year, then you are due a free large pizza and Pepsi. You can get your unique coupon code here, but you need to do so before Wednesday, February 22.

Note you have until March 4 to use the code. But now you know what to do if you've been sitting around, twiddling your thumbs, and waiting for your code. Though if you were literally doing that, you might want to go find a hobby or something.

It’s saying with my email address that I wasnt signed up before this give away and that is absolutely NOT TRUE. You had to sign up to enter number one and number two, how did they already have all my information (address, etc) when I did go to sign up for future deals??????? This is bogus such as all free deals.

#7, #8, #9 and #13: My husband and I have separate online accounts with Papa John pizza. I’m signed up for Papa Rewards points with my account, and a couple of weeks ago I got an e-mail for the free pizza. My husband didn’t get the same e-mail, so we checked his Papa John account and found out that although he has a Papa John account, he never signed up for Papa Rewards points. You might want to check your account to see if you are signed up for Papa Rewards points.

Crap, entered my email on the page before I remembered to change it on my papa john’s account (had to change emails a while ago and never updated it). And it now it’s saying I didn’t have an account before :/

It said I wasnt signexd up which I was I called customer service who said they would send me an email. which they didnt so I think its pizza hut for me cause papa johns has a very bad customer service dept no one ever got back to me 🙁

I am having one heck of a time placing my order online like I have to. I put in the promo code which the dollar amount should come up that I owe nothing and it comes up I owe $13.00. I called the store and he tried to help me on his computer and couldn’t. He then gave me the papa john telephone # for help on placing orders on line (it must be an ongoing problem to place orders online if they have a t# just for that purpose) i was on hold for over 25 minutes so I hung up. Not sure if I will be able to use mine before March 4,2012 I cant seem to place order online. guy at store said they have allot of problems with people placing orders online for the coin toss. HELP!!!

Got the e-mail last Thursday, and ordered the pizza and Pepsi (and some cheese sticks!) last night. I think that it wasn’t enough to be signed up for special offers, you had to be enrolled in Papa’s Reward Points to get the deal.

If you really want a free pizza, e-mail Papa Johns and complain about their online codes not working at your local store. Don’t whine, but make a point to say that you’re disappointed that you couldn’t use it, and point out that Papa Johns is not the only guy at the dance. They’ll send you a voucher or direct the local store to give you something free in no time.

A bit “scammish” as the PapaRewards pre-enrollment requirement is a joke to have been aware of. It was probably in the fine print when they initially ran the sign-up for the coin-toss promo, but as I only order from them maybe once a year I simply assumed I was a member when I enrolled in PapaJohns website many years ago. I will be considerate and email customer support a complaint and hope for the best.

I too was on hold forever trying to figure this out! Finally I found out you have to enter the code first thing when you go to the site, before you place your order. I believe there was a place for the code in upper center of the page. Then place your order for the pizza and pop and it should go through with no charge (except for a bottle deposit in various locations, we only had to pay .10 for pizza and pop!
Hope this helps you, good luck!!!

The site said I am not a member with my E-mail address, a pretty smart way to save pizzas if you ask me. I have been a member from the start and even did the promotion…but if they don’t want me as a member I will call Pizza Hut for my pizza fix…Oh well Yay for all of you that got a pizza

I got my code and pizza without any problems on Tues after Super Bowl. When the promo started i signed up and followed the instructions. My husband got one too cause he also sugned up. This promo is not a scam.

scam- telling me i wasnt signed up but when i tried, it says im already a member – this is crap – I have sent a customer complaint regarding this & have sent a complaint to the BBB on this one as well – Get up early to scam us papa – I will never eat at your place again…

Sure is a lot of outrage over a free pizza deal. Most of the people having problems probably were signed up for a PapaJohns.com account, but not a Papa John’s Rewards account. Or perhaps you signed up with your spam email address or another alternative email.

And for those saying this is a “scam”, what were you scammed out of? You didn’t pay for anything, so you weren’t scammed at all.

No wonder the rest of the planet thinks all Americans are whiny, entitled, and ungrateful.
